SO WE'LL HATE HIM Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.Then there's:
WANTED FOR TAKING OUT THE TRASHOnce again, this is but a sampling. Of course, we'll hear that these are just "exceptions," but the left has a funny knack for turning exceptions into the rule. And as far as patterns go, it certainly is the rule. Just consider many leftists' response to a very cute pre-election video of a six-year-old boy giving ten reasons not to vote for Barack Obama. Here's a handful of their YouTube postings (excerpted from a PatriotUpdate.com article): And here is one I have to print so it can be cleaned up (as much as liberals' messes can be):
GO F*** YOUR MOTHER YOU LITTLE ****SUCKING HOMOPHOBIC GUN LOVING ****SUCKER IF YOU WERE MY F****** KID I WOULD BE GIVING THE BIGGEST S**T KICKING OF A LIFETIME YOU LITTLE GOOD GOD FEARING GOOD FOR F****** NOTHING F****** ****SUCKER!!!!!! TheSwordplayaI want to reiterate that we're talking about a cute, innocent six-year-old child here. And again, we'll be told that such sentiments aren't representative of the left, but are they really all that unrepresentative of the passionate left? Note that liberals often use children to spread their message; everything is "for the children"...and by the children and of the children. Obama just surrounded himself with them when signing gun-control executive orders and had little tykes reading statements. We had to watch in 2008 as kids marched for him in videos and sang "Barack Hussein Obama, mm, mm, mm!" But did you ever see conservatives post vile sentiments anytime, anywhere about how they wanted to abuse or kill these children? I spend many hours on the internet and have never seen such a thing. Of course, a leftist may unearth an example -- and I wouldn't be surprised if such a thing were manufactured, NBC-style -- but the point is that exceptions on the right actually are just that. Exceptions on the left are everywhere. They're in the history books, too. Maximilien Robespierre was an ardent opponent of the death penalty...that is, until he and his fellow French revolutionaries took power and he used the guillotine to murder thousands. The communists in the Soviet Union murdered at least 20 million and the Maoists in China approximately 70 million. And the Khmer Rouge exceptions in Cambodia exterminated one third of their nation's population between 1975 and '79. As for anticipated futures, the people Obama ally Bill Ayers was breaking bread with theorized that they may have to kill 25 million "capitalists" in order to complete a communist revolution in America. Hey, you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet, right? This is why I've long had a different take, a philosophical one, on sociopathy. I believe that it may simply be the result of taking liberalism -- or, to be precise, the relativism central to it -- to its logical conclusion. After all, if what we call right and wrong is simply man's preferences and thus doesn't really exist, it makes no sense to have a conscience. For there is nothing to be conscientious about. What is for sure, however, is that modern liberalism is moral dysfunction.
